UPDATE (14th June 2011):

We are now over the 10,000 mark.​

I have now spoken with Motorola and gotten confirmation that Motorola plan to unlock every device that will get an update in the second half of this year. This will include maintenance & firmware updates, but is still subject to Carrier approval.

The promising sign is that Verizon has already allowed Motorola to unlock a device on their network, the Xoom, which utilizes the unlockable/re-lockable model that Motorola intends on using across their devices.

I'm still looking to work with Motorola in the coming months to help see if we can make this a smooth process for Motorola and the community.

You can read the article here:

http://ausdroid.net/2011/06/14/an-u...witter&utm_campaign=Feed:+ausdroid+(Ausdroid)

Please share this where you can and keep it alive. I will continue to work with Motorola to see if we can get this thing torn wide open.

UPDATE (26th April 2011):

We are now at ~8,700 mark.​

Motorola has now responded to me, stating that they are looking at unlocking bootloaders across their devices late 2011.

The article for the story can be found here:

http://ausdroid.net/2011/04/26/the-little-aussie-taking-on-motorola-u-s/#more-8184

We're still seeking clarity around whether this will be for current devices or only future devices.

I couldn't have gotten this far without the support of everyone here. You guys and girls have been a huge support and help me turn this snowball into a wrecking ball.

Please share this where you can and keep it alive. I will continue to work with Motorola to see if we can get this thing torn wide open.

Previous Update (4th April 2011):

We are now at ~7600 mark.​

We're starting to slow down from our initial boom, so I have now set up a Facebook page to see if we can wrangle in some supporters that don't use Twitter or XDA.

I will need your help getting this out there. So share the facebook page where you can.

I'm also looking to see if anyone is interested in helping me Moderate the page. Please PM if you are.

Original Post:

Hi All,

I have created a Groubal (online petition) to get a response from Motorola on it's bootloader policy.

>>This petition started for the Atrix, but I made sure that it was for Motorola's overall Bootloader Policy. I have reached 200 signatures in 2 weeks, but now believe it's time to expand this out of the Atrix space and into the larger Motorola Dev community.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ikenley:
Ok guys, we now have nearly 800 signatures, nearly 500 in one night alone.

Keep up the great work everyone, this wouldn't be going anywhere without your support.

Signed. Does anyone else feel this should be posted in the General section of every android device? We need to protect AOSP!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ikenley:
It would be even better if we could get XDA to post it as an announcement across all the forums, but unfortunately I don't know any of the administrators well enough to do it.

If you want to champion that for us, that would be greatly appreciate. I'm starting to find myself spread to thin on this one.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ikenley:
Groubal has been attacked again!

I will update the post when they are back to normal operations.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] piperat:
I posted this on a few other forums around xda. I also posted this on fascinates forum to since thats where i hang out. I got a bunch of negative feedback at first. Then come to find out the new samsung phones are going to have it too.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ikenley:
Updated OP
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CaliTilt:
Just sent this tip to Engadget.com

Please shed some light on the petition by the Android user community requesting that Motorola to unlock the bootloaders on their Droid phones. Smartphones are not just phones that can browse the web, they are mobile computing devices that can make phone calls.

We pay a large sum of money to own these mobile computing devices but we are not able to modify the operating system like any other personal computer that each of us own.

[HD2 Android SD Development] sacredabyss:
yeah, me too, I always wanted a 2.3 rom with sense. can't wait to see it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
That's just EXCELLENT NEWS!
[HD2 Android SD Development] MarkAtHome:
Count me in!
[HD2 Android SD Development] lewrydiboys:
That's a wonderful news. I love sense. Hardly can wait.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikemol:
I only use SD sense builds and there are not so many of them. Most either do not boot on my phone or too laggy, data keeps falling off or have other issues. GB roms seem ok but they all lack sense. I can't wait for a GB sense version of SD build. Somebody, please, start working on it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Kastro1784:
Yes I would love to see Desire HD s Gingerbread with the EVO 3d sense function that would be really cool for a SD build there without maglr boots also the basic SD card boot.... I would try maglr but my computer is down and out so I can only do SD builds for now
[HD2 Android SD Development] Kastro1784:
Ps Yess we do need more SD builds with sense indeed
[HD2 Android SD Development] hkmate:
It just wonderful and that's what I have been waiting
[HD2 Android SD Development] titoxperiax10:
Hello people, the HD2 can run the sense that have the evo 3D with all that animations..?

[HD2 Android SD Development] xanadude:
Definately count me in on this
[HD2 Android SD Development] sacredabyss:
I don't think HD2 is capable of runing sense 3.0, but DHD sense on GB is possible.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dunc001:
??? This isn't Sense 3.0 - it is Sense 2.1 which AFAIK is the latest version of Sense. If you are talking about Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) then again this is a tablet OS but is already being ported for HD2 NAND - look in the NAND forum. This build is Android 2.3.2 (again AFAIK) and latest CM7 builds are 2.3.3

I for one cannot wait for a GB build with Sense 2.1, preferably on SD but if pushed it may just be what makes me finally switch to NAND on my phone. If only iGo for Android was as good as Primo for WinMo I'd be gone today ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Kastro1784:
HEY IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE A GINGERBREAD SENSE 2.1 SD BUILD BUT ON THIS SITE I DON'T THINK ANYBODY GONNA MAKE THIS FOR US WITCH SUCKS SMH EVERYBODY TALKING NAND THIS AND NAND THAT SMH.. WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US THAT MAY NOT HAVE A COMPUTER WORKING RIGHT NOW TO USE MAGLR /NAND I'VE BEEN USING THIS XDA APP TO DOWNLOAD NEW SD BUILDS I'M ABLE TO MANUALLY CHANGE MY SD BUILDS ANYTIME I WANT TROUGH MY HD2 ...

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jeffreyKimball:
I'm currently using a custom 2.2 rom on my X10 mini (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961707#).

I heard lots of rumor dat there're some modified flash player that allow x10mini to run.

I wonder if it's true.. If yes, can anyone share the links?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Iskander.g:
flash don't support arm v6 processos.

Rumors begin from peolpes who say "i have flash on my x10mini coz i can play youtube video", or some over flash video, but really they play video using youtube application, no flash.

AFAIK, today we have no way to run flash on x10 mini
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
And for whom it matters Iphone won´t play flash either, so we are as good as them. Even X1 mini pro is made on the same factory ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jeffreyKimball:
yea.. i know about that too as I'm also using youtube apps. I'm juz wondering whether the rumors they said that some developer has worked about the flash for arm v6 is true or not. Anyway.. Thx for ur info...:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Aavion:
i've had a htc hero before on fw 1.5 and fw 2.1 .. on both of em htc included an own flash-version .. i wonder if it would be possible to move that flash-activated browser to our devices (htc hero is armv6,too) ^^
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ruifung:
I tought HTC used a version of flash lite with their own customised browser, i wonder why nobody tried to port a version of gnash ( open source flash player ) as nobody has access to flash player's source code..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Nitroboy77:
hey guys,

sorry for the dumb question (maybe) but can't we make our device "think" that we've got an armv7 processor? ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] supermansaga:
I thought Android would do the tricks. Now you are telling me X10 Mini Pro 2.2 Froyo can't?? How about 2.3 Gingerbread? It's a specific processor problem?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
yes it is a processor specific problem, and it has been said here a gadzillion of times. Just use search.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jeffreyKimball:
from what I know is processors not the major prob.. As some phone that have processor weaker than us also have flash supported.. Some nokia phone wit lousier processor can use flash thru certain software where android don't have.. "your processor is not supported" is an excuse given by adobe..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
Weaker or stronger processor has nothing to do with that.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yperion:
Its not the mhz the problem, but the "commands set" that our proccesor can execute, so the only way to get flash is from adobe, and i dont think that they ever make a new build for old proccesors.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Jhquest0:
if we want flash on our phones we gotta cough up some money and get rid of our minis :(

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] riesan:
for 2.1 SE or CM6 or capable of both..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CM-PRo:
for both- but works only with SE Home Launcher. ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pyrobooby:
Does it work for Mini Pro (CyanogenMOD) Version?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CM-PRo:
Yes it does......but you need to install the SE Arc home launcher available in the themes and apps section.....only works with the Arc Launcher.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lamenomore:
It's working with LouncherPro too... :P

But... You still need to keep ArcLouncher installed... ;)

I'm using that transparent version, thanks! ^^
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the noan:
I used to be a flashoholic trying at least 1 new rom daily. After I was done having my fun I'd go back to cm6, then it was back to the cm6 4g rom. Now that I'm on cm7 rc2 I honestly have no need to flash new roms anymore. I love cm7 but it kinda killed my flashing because I have yet to run into anything that I like better. I've tried miui and like it but the new gingerbread rom says it's got a few bugs in it, plus no 4g. Don't know why the 4g thing kills it for me because I went without it while using cyanogenmod releases but now for some reason i feel the need for it. I'm not opposed to sense roms, in fact became really fond of the frost rom but still kept going back to cm. So I'm conclusion thank you to the cm team for making my phone simply amazing but damn you for being so good that I don't want to try anything else.

Sent from my now just a fancy phone and no longer my all day source of flashing entertainment phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx_dbs_tx:
Your thread title indicates that you are bored with your EVO but your post sounds as if you are just simply happy with your EVO running the CM7 ROM. The title is a bit misleading but I understand how you feel. Your phone is great and you are happy with it and not flashing roms on a daily basis... which is a good thing.

Mabe the title should say you are not bored with your phone but quite happy with it and no longer feel the need to try diferent roms?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoctorComrade:
I'm bored with Android, not my Evo. I found webOS to be a more exciting OS to use on a phone than Android and iOS.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalanonymity:
I just got my flashing days started! It seems I do the same thing you do: keep going back to a particular ROM, mine being Warm Z.

I've just started looking into threads about people posting their home screen and I'm trying to really figure out what I wanna do with that! Really, so many possibilities to do with home screens, it'll definitely keep me entertained for a while.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempest111:
I just wish the Evo was better at gaming. Overall it's a fantastic phone, but i do like gaming, and with all the hd games and cool emulators coming out, the evo seems to be showing its limits i think. Just holding out for the 3d.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimbdd:
The evo had an outdated gpu before it was even released.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the noan:
I'm extremely happy with my phone it's just that i would be on it all day looking for new roms to try, waiting for them to download at work, possibly flashing them at work or on the way home, playing around with the new rom when I got home for hours. I love cm7 and my phone but now I have nothing to do.

For months my routine involved wasting hours flashing roms and kernels now all I do is get my ass kicked at Droid words by my girlfriend, I guess that's payback for all the hours I ignored her because I was playing with my phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
Nope
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archervanadin:
Yea like the OP I was flashing anything and everything.. but lately its just been slow.. maybe im speaking out of turn and i know someone will def. say something, but I want something groundbreaking from android/HTC.. just my opinion..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
Yeah used to flash more in the past, checking everything out but always going back to CM6. Now with CM7 I have only flashed one, Warm Z, and was back shortly. Not so much bored as I am content and happy with CM7. Feels nice to have settled, actually.

:D

blah blah effin blah
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sobis1dm:
There.

You know what I never seem to get bored with? Grammar. Personally, It's always exciting to know people can't judge me because I never paid attention in fourth grade.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubfan99:
Wow, I thought it, but you said it. Now go after all your friends and neighbors on Facebook because it feels so good to know you're superior, and they'll love you for it, I'm sure.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sobis1dm:
Actually, superiority isn't my goal. The kid clearly doesn't know the difference in his words, so I'm trying to point him in a direction to learn more about the language he speaks; in this case, learning the difference between there, their and they're. It's kindof important.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimbdd:
Yeah, well this is kind of an internet forum. Not a place for grammar lessons. It may even be a rule here to not correct people. I don't remember though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubfan99:
Not sure telling him he should have paid attention in 4th grade is the best approach. May want to adjust your style when you're seeking to be helpful.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crstfr:

edit:

Woops, too late. Oh well...if you make a blatant grammatical error in a forum title you have to expect it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sobis1dm:
Actually, by correcting him I actually exercised two rules.

First: speak English as well as you possibly can. Next time, he will know.

Second: help others when possible. Self explanatory

:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the noan:
Thank you for correcting me. I'm sure you did it to help another person out. My mistake was probably nothing more than an auto correct as I typed this out on my phone. You're so kind with the sharing of your infinite wisdom of the English language. Thank you very much. To help you out you didn't put a period after your 2nd rule, and I believe you only spaced once when you should space twice after the first sentence in your first rule. Next time when you criticize someone on their grammar maybe you can use correct sentence structure.

Thanks once again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Lmfao...pawned.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
Lol

blah blah effin blah
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sobis1dm:
Actually, the spacing after a period is a question of style rather than grammar or sentence structure. You probably wrote high school reports in MLA format which calls for such styling. However, AP style calls for single spacing. Style isn't the same as grammar and is in fact completely arbitrary. So no "pawnage" there, as the other guy so eloquently called it.

I applaud the effort though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazelfoot:
What's so good about CM7?

Can't sense do everything it does? Yet sense has nice widgets to show text messages, news feeds, twitter feeds, etc.

If I could get those things on CM7 I'd definitely give it a try.

the only way an app for the *Phone, *Pad or *Pod Touch will work in an Android device is if 1. the original developer ports it over to Android or 2. an Android app developer copies the app ie. the 4-5 "versions" of Fruit Ninja before it was ported to Android

[G Tablet General] teregova:
Would it make any difference in battery life if video is played from Micro SD versus the internal storage? I am flying overseas and on a ten hour flight any extra battery life matters.

Thank you
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
With computers I always stick by the rule, any accessory drains power even if your not using it. That said I don't think that battery life difference would be noticed.

Dial down your screen brightness.

Turn off wifi, sync, BT.

Kill all Widgets and active desktop.

Kill all non essential apps.

I actually have a backup that is only for watching movies and listening to music on long trips. I used system app uninstaller to take out most everything I wouldnt need to watch movies. Mail, maps, voice. Basically I Yanked out all the apps and system apps that eat up processing time and ram space but never get used watching movies.

Tuned launcher pro down to 1 homescreen and backed it up. Then reloaded my previous backup. Now I have a portible movie player I can load up any time and get excellent life out of. I have watched movies with headphones for at least 10 hours with this setup but I'm sure it was more
